Darkus can't believe his eyes when a huge insect drops out of the trouser leg of his horrible new neighbour. It's a giant beetle – and it seems to want to communicate.

But how can a boy be friends with a beetle? And what does a beetle have to do with the disappearance of his dad and the arrival of Lucretia Cutter, with her taste for creepy jewellery?

The first book in MG Leonard's acclaimed trilogy, followed by Beetle Queen and Battle of the Beetles!

作者简介

M. G. 伦纳德从小就开始编故事。那时候，大人们称这些故事为谎言或荒诞故事，所以她根本没想过要把它们写下来。现在，她创作关于甲虫、鸟类、火车或任何能激发她想象力的事物的故事。她的书已被翻译成四十多种语言，并赢得了许多奖项。她是昆虫慈善机构“Buglife”的副总裁，也是Authors4Oceans的创始作家。她与丈夫、两个儿子、一只名叫Nell的狗以及各种珍奇的甲虫一起住在英国海边。

M. G. Leonard has made up stories ever since she was a little girl. Back then, adults called them lies or tall tales, so she didn’t think to write them down. Now, she makes up stories about beetles, birds, trains or anything that sparks her imagination. Her books have been translated into over forty languages and won many awards. She is the vice president of the insect charity Buglife, and a founding author of Authors4Oceans. She lives in England, by the sea, with her husband, two sons, a dog called Nell, and a variety of exotic beetles.
